All of the RPO(regular production option)codes will be on a sticker on the car, usually on one of the rear compartment doors on the early cars, and on the inside of the console door on later cars. On my '85, it is on the driver side rear compartment door. It lists every production option the car was built with. With the info from the sticker, you can decode everything it had originally, from the factory.
